Testing An Installed Modem; What To Do With Comtest's Recommendation - 3Com 000839-08 Manual

Testing an Installed Modem

If there is a modem already installed in your
computer, you can determine its COM and
IRQ settings by selecting the Test an
installed modem option. Follow the
instructions on screen until you see the screen
that tells you "Testing is complete." This screen
will also tell you which COM and IRQ settings
your present modem is using. These are the
settings you want to use for your new
Sportster modem. Write the settings down in
the spaces provided on the first page of this
manual.
Turn off and unplug your computer and
remove your present modem. Go to "How to
Change the Modem's Settings" on page 10.
